Why have a sustainability programme?

Sustainability is an important issue for the Business School and is one of our four strategic research themes. The Business School's mission is to develop graduates, knowledge and ideas to sustainably grow the productivity and international competitiveness of New Zealand.

We are continually evolving our curricula to prepare tomorrow's leaders for the challenges they will face, embedding social responsibility and sustainability into our courses. We aim to engage and inspire our students about the role of business in society, providing opportunities for them to hear from and talk to business, community and political leaders. We also aspire to play a convening role, brining together business leaders, researchers policy-makers and civil society to find ways to solve the complex challenges ahead.
